Love the style, shoulder straps need shortening
This is my 2nd or 3rd Peter Som woven dress rental, and I love the way the fabric functions. I'm almost 9 months pregnant and it looked great on me, as did another winter dress I rented when I was 5-6 months pregnant. The stripes are flattering and the colors are great for spring/summer. The weave is thick and comfortable. The only problem on this dress, as others reported, is that the straps will NOT stay on your shoulders. I tried pinning them to my bra straps, which helped but was tricky, and a different day I just gave up and threw an oversized jean jacket on over it. Would have considered purchasing otherwise.

Fun wrap skirt
Wore this with a lime-green blazer for work, over my very pregnant (8 mo along) belly, and on a different day with a white butterfly-sleeve top. Felt really fun, got compliments. Skirt length was fab. The wrap "mechanism" on this particular skirt was a little odd, and my belly was large enough that I sometimes worried I my upper thigh or pelvic area could become exposed when I had to bend over or squat, but the majority of people outside of my specific stage of pregnancy should be fine.

Cute, flirty, but polyester not good for warm weather
Wore it 8 months pregnant to celebrate spring starting. I think it gave me a kind of cute girly bell shape. Love that the dark colors could hide accidental stains if owned (thankfully I kept my rental clean). Might not buy long-term because polyester fabric didn't breathe well; only wore once when it was still cold out, with tights.

Super cute, great colors, good fabric
This was my favorite of the skirts I've rented from RTR so far. Fabric is a little thicker, the colors are fun to match (I wore with a yellow blazer one day and a green blazer another, could also do with brown, white, or black; also wore with a green long-sleeve), and it fit empire-waist style over my very pregnant belly. Might buy later on in a non-pregnancy size.

Frankly unwearable
Too revealing in too many senses: super think, see-through fabric that is also super stretchy and also cut in a super revealing way. I'm 8 months into my 2nd pregnancy and I wanted this for an anniversary date, so I knew my body would look different from usual and didn't mind a sexy edge, but this was catastrophic. Main issue was bust area: I tried 3 different bras, including a sticky bra, and there was no configuration that made me look like anything but a misshapen blob or someone with no taste; all the bras, even the sticky petal bra, showed at least a little, and without any bra, my girls looked sad and saggy and you could ALSO see nips. I can't imagine what shape body WOULD look good in this dress – probably only someone OK going full nude who wants like, slightly more modesty than that.

Cute pattern
Fibers artificial so I wouldn't buy one for myself, but the pattern was cute and vibrant and the fit was baggy and versatile. The right sort of thing to rent.

Stretchy and sophisticated
Fabric is synthetic and I originally wanted this dress in a neutral colorway, but I was happy to get the pink for a Valentine's day date with my spouse while pregnant. It fit well.

Generic but versatile polyester skirt
Incredibly similar fabric and shape to a skirt in a different color I own from a non-luxury brand. I rented it because of the color and stretch, but I wish RTR had more late-maternity-friendly bottoms.

Underrated look
Very cute dress. I liked the shape for my late-pregnancy body - just enough flounce on the hem to be cute and not a tent. Wore with a blazer to teach a class in around Lunar New Year.

Comfortable
Very comfortable maternity skirt, I thought the leather would add a little edge to my look but it ended up feeling a little bulky over my tights in winter, and not quite warm enough compared to pants. Maybe I styled it incorrectly, or maybe my shape isn't suited to this line.

Beautiful! Very formal
I wore it to a conference over a long white shirt dress, and once to teach a class, which mostly worked, but I felt a little overdressed because of how luxe the coat is. I'm also pregnant, but this was a good choice fitwise for that.

Very cute over a pregnant belly
The wrap style cardigan is great for pregnancy in winter, and a little more fun than your average neutral.

Nice enough blazer
Nice blazer, but it's not very unique, as great as a nice tweek jacket is. I got it to look a little better over my pregnancy stomach than my own collection, and it did the job. Lost a button on second wear though.

Love!
The length of this dress was perfect for me (at 5'9" and with a baby bump), and the knit pattern and shape is super flattering, I imagine it would look great with my fluctuating weight postpartum too. Would consider purchasing for myself!

More like this please!
Loved these for wearing with my large 2nd trimester pregnancy bump. Super comfortable, flattering, easy to wear, likely good year-round because I wore it in the winter but in unexpectedly hot weather (70*F/22*C) and was comfortable. I wore it twice with different monochrome shirts and could probably have kept wearing it and styling it with sweaters or button-ups. My mom wouldn't stop complimenting them. :) Wish RTR had more styles like this. They seem really low on stock on maternity pants.

Colors amazing, a little oversized even for pregnant belly
Essentially a giant sweater, so really cozy. But it did hang kind of loose in an unflattering way on me (even with the pregnant belly).

Cute preppy look
Wore this around Christmas (in a warm place) to show off my 2nd trimester baby pump, and fabric was forgiving and cute. I regretted not having white sneakers to wear with it! Would be even better in the Spring.
